| Sorin Dumitrescu Mihaesti, painter. Rumania | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Sorin Dumitrescu Mihaesti (born in 1961) is a representative painter for the evolution of the Romanian fine arts of the last quarter of century. At first, placed under the sign of the figuration, his painting suffered the specific shifting of the present day art towards non-figuratism, to a sui generis geometrism. It’s not the matter of a shallow geometrism, but a fanciful one, bathed in spectacular chromatic reverberations. But beyond the idea of figurative or non-figurative, his painting is characterized by an out of common feeling for color and an exacerbated sensibility which distinguishes him from the other artists. Even if in his painting there is a temptation towards a certain decorum, the chromatic solution with its richness of groups, bold juxtapositions and unusual contrasts, now striking, now silent – is the one which dominates. For Sorin Dumitrescu Mihaesti, the color is the correspondent of his mood; it is an ultra sensitive seismograph which readily answers his mood – sometimes euphoric, sometimes melancholic. |

 |
| Først og fremmest er jeg en selvstuderet røver - men uddannet som lærer på KDAS i 1988 med liniefag i bl.a. billedkunst. Har derfor i mange år haft en pædagogisk tilgang til det at skabe billeder. Siden kravlestadiet og blyantens opfindelse, har jeg kradset i alt – og med min morfars hjælp: tegner, bryggeriarbejder og maler, Børge Jensen (aldeles ukendt), havde jeg en lærermester, der kunne tegne med fotografisk præcision, og han indførte mig i naturalismens genskabende univers, næsten til den absurde perfektion. | ||

| Morten Gaarden , painter. Denmark | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Morten Gaarden. My inspiration expresses things about and around myself. I am a happy, positive and spontane person. Some have described my style as wild, but in it's own calm way - And that is a really good way of expressing it, I think. When my style was publiced by help of my website, I found out that my works contributed with much attention. Before I knew it, I had sold my first painting. If you want to describe my style in a more art-fashion-way, it is Abstract, but also with a touch of Expressionism. I would like to offer more to my paintings than just colors. It has to move something inside you. This style represents a lot of things, which I like myself, and things that I can recognize. A spark which makes me feel that it is not just a canvas with colors on. And to me my style gives me these feelings. |

| Fredrik Flink , painter. Sweden | ||
 |
 |
 |
| My name is Fredrik Flink live in southern parts in Sweden. I have recently come to realize that it is about time to let other people, except from my family and friends, take part of my work of art. I have reached a point in my life, where I can dedicate more time to my art and I am now ready to reach out to galleries and other people interested in my artwork, in other words I am ready to reach a wider audience. I believe genuine and true feelings surrounding art is in the eye (mind) of the beholder. The purpose of art is to create interest and generate feelings within the beholder. In my paintings, I like to mix motives of the human inner (and outer) nature with motives external to the human body and mind and the reality in which we live. |

In spring, we completed a joint collection exhibition at Easter. Exhibition is on my farm field Mountains, where the house now serves as the gallery. Our mentor is the artist, Susanne Jardeback. Susanne has led me to take turns a bit more, to dare to try new ideas. At the moment I paint mostly in acrylic, and then becomes the most abstract paintings, but in most you can read something from nature or the body forms. I leave to the viewer to decide what he wants to discover. Painting leaves room for imagination and excitement in everyday life. |

| Jenny Stake , painter. Sweden | ||
 |
 |
 |
| "My ambition is to create art that concern, questioning and extends beyond the borders of logic. I believe that the viewer itself always creates its own motives when he or she interprets a picture depending on the experiences, experience and attitude to life he has. Thus the viewer is also a large part in creating a work of art. Although my motives vary, the recurring theme in all the paintings the opportunity to discover more than was at first glance looks. To call for confrontation against himself. To touch on a personal level. To steal a few extra seconds." |

| Barbro Ridderlöf , painter. Sweden | ||
 |
 |
 |
| I have since childhood signed and painted a lot. I also have for many years expressed to me by textile embroidery and weaving. I have a strong need to express myself in the picture. In the mid-1990s, I found my real expression - to paint in oil on canvas. The reasons are often drawn from the Stockholm Archipelago, with much feeling of lush natural water and mirrors. Sometimes the motives inspired by old photos from the album or memory collage of episodes from the life. Many reasons have been a women's figure as observers or in the centre of the picture with symbols around the shape of birds, dragonflies and plants in sweeping decorative forms. I like to paint old barns and sjöbodar who has a history and soul. To get to experiment with varying dagrar is exciting to get the right mood in the picture. I paint imaging with layers of color and many times with contrasts of retracted fantasy images. The colors and light are important in the pictures as well as the whole picture rhythm and disposition. In the pictures, I want to get a subpoena, a moment or a beautiful view. Is also autodidact with strong artistic påbrå within the family. To touch on a personal level. To steal a few extra seconds.

| I work mainly with oil and water colours but I do also paint on driftwood, polished and formed by the sea. I paint out of sheer curiosity and lust to explore the possibilities offered by the different languages of art. The butterfly often presents itself in my paintings – not every time though. It early became a symbol for my view on life and life’s meaning. The butterfly, with its splendid transformation from larva – almost repulsive – to cocoon, the tranquility and contemplation in life and onward to its final unfolding into a never ending diversity of beauty, freedom and comeliness. A wonder of metamorphosis. |

 |
 |
 |
| An incurable desire to paint has followed me since childhood. For many years, is music and singing my big inspiration. Since I have known synestetisk ability, each tonne of their own color value and each voice its own color scale. Before I begin a painting I listen actively to a musical piece for a long time, between 1 to 3 months, before I grips my brushes and fill them with color. Until growing unique motifs with exciting color and design. Trips both in Sweden and Denmark, Norway, France, England, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, Italy, Lithuania and the United States have enriched my knowledge of painting. I have always been fascinated by the play between light and darkness and the tension that exists between them. My paintings are, to my great delight, represented in many homes, businesses and institutions today. In this tough, hard and wounded world we live in the 2000's, I would like my painting, which is natural lyricism with elements of surrealism and symbolism, interpret the bright and good forces still exist and gives us joy, playfulness, vitality and harmony . |

About my expression and on the topics that interest me: I mainly express myself through painting, but also work with the drawing. Use the figurative expression, a form of "realism", and tries through this, among other things, to communicate something about human life, relationships, loneliness, loss and longings.

| I am an 51 year old woman, born in Sarpsborg, and have drawn, painted, designed clothes, and made shapes or sculptures since I was small. The last 30 years I have lived in Oslo, and in 08 I got my formal artistic education through Nydalen Art School. Now, I have a studio in a larger artistic community, alongside my work as a nurse for the elderly. Having trained in psycho therapy, where drawing, painting, movement and work with the body are important tools in the therapy work I am concerned with the relationship between body, soul and spirit and how these elements are inextricably linked. In my art I try to conjure up the feeling, or sensation of being a body, with special emphasis on different aspects, or phases, the woman encounters , such as sensuality, eroticism, pregnancy, birth, the mother-child relationship and the man-woman as well as aging and death. I use templates and create sculptures / castings / installations. My images are painted with acrylic on canvas, and the sculptures etc.. constructed of plaster, paper and textile, with elements of metal, painted plastic figures, glass, natural materials, etc.. | ||

 |
 |
| Photographic history and philosophy. Photography has accompanied me all since my early teens. At first as a hobby, but later as a profession, comprising studio photography and externally comissioned photography. Alongside with my professional work, I allways kept my personal photography going. After more than 40 years in photography, I nowadays mostly work with personal projects for my own picture archive. I specialize in black and white photography, based on traditional film and photographic paper for the wet darkroom. Nature is, and has allways been, an important source of inspiration to me. Details, forms and light playing on the surface of water, just where it meets the solid ground, can give you unimagined possibilities for pictures. To come to a stop, and just regard and listen to my closest surrounding when I am out in the woods, can give me a philosophic peace of mind that opens up my visual sence. Everyday life is another important choice of subject to me. By working with both visual and technical care, the future added historical value could be substantial. To take a photograph in itself is only the beginning of the image creating process. When in the dim, red light of the darkroom, I am able to form an image with the help of an enlarger, I can experience a feeling for the picture that I have never been able to achieve in front of the screen of a computer. My own visual sence is best released, when I have only the lightrays between my photographic negative and the final image. |

| Per Fernhagen , painter. Sweden | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Per Fernhagen, Born in Örebro, Sweden, 1957. Living in Varberg, working in his own studio by the ocean. The motives span from the amazing scenery of the Swedish West Coast and the dramatic dynamics of the Northern mountains to his most personal interpretations of current world events. His art isn't restricted to any genre or technique, but instead his curiosity and lust for experimentation results in oil, acrylic, pastel or water-colour paintings - all depending on the motif. "The fascination in my painting is the result of the motif itself, since it demands such flexibility as the very scenery changes rapidly; its shape, its light and its colours. It's a true challenge to catch the short moment in my studies of nature and recreate the inherent feeling of it. |

Went another route and had 4 children. Into the night I had dreams where I saw myself stand and paint. Those dreams came more and more often until I for 2 years ago knew that now was time for me to paint! I paint with "emotions" and spartel, and I never know what coming. I have lived in Denmark, Sweden and now Germany. I have lived in the U.S.A. and some of my pictures are inspired from there. |

| Angela Bogaard, painter. Holland | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Practicing artist over 27 years. Professional artist since 1983. I experimented with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art. Ever since the mid-1980s, I have been engaged conquering and creating my own language in the process. At first glance, my works appear expressive, but they always incorporate social references. The act of painting and the photography/digital art itself is an intuitive process, where emotion and inner communication is a vital element .Communication is universal and splashes through the worlds until the unapproachable. I think that feelings come from the unconsciousness, the impenetrable spirit of each person. I think that art represents the projection of the unconsciousness, giving new forms to ideas with a beginning and with an end. The act of painting and the act of digital art itself is the unexpected keys to enter a new room with an unknown view. The Mental Bridge series is photography/digital art. | ||

 |
| I was born in 1927 and raised in the town of Lund in southern Sweden. In the 60's I lived close to the nature in Bergslagen, the great mining district of Sweden. The forrest and nature inspired me in my art and have continued to do so through the years. I later moved and since the 70's the Malmö region in the southern Sweden has been my home. For ten years I worked with tapestries on which I captured man at work. Faces inspires me as the inner and outer landscape of the human being. I began painting portraits in the early 80's. Today I'm mostly trying to capture the social origin of the woman in early cultures and myths. |

| Born in Bohuslän. Autodidakt. First, I started painting at an early age. My Grandpa taught me much about nature. Color in, scenic inspiring, made me to want to shape my feelings, with my hands. Then there was the mud agility, movement, scent-expression. Then came the requirements to stand on its own feet, the training that was closest to Color o Shape, became four-year Hair artist education with journeyman Letters and Crafts Letter to Stock Exchange in Gothenburg. Longing to devote myself to art grew. Sculpting became like a thread within me. In the early 80's I came in contact with an artist group in Dalsland and started sculpting. I have always been interested in culture and myths. I worked with various themes, such as the seasons - the four elements. Right now I develop further what is happening around us. Tutorials, courses on Gerlesborgs school, with different techniques. |

Formally graduated in economics, but I have always enjoyed painting. 16 years old I began with aquarelles. However my new life in Sweden sparked an artistic renaissance. The paintings are simple with the dramatic effects and in most cases, but unconsciously, they depict flowers and women. Now I am working mainly in oils and aquarelles. I believe that art can be anything as long as it involves and contains sufficient emotion. I paint in order to express myself to others and give the spectator room for their own interpretation. |

 Leif Nielsen |
 Leif Nielsen |
| Kunstneren Leif Nielsen, fra Frederiksværk, forvandler skrotjern til sublim kunst. Det har ført til anerkendelse både herhjemme og i udlandet. Flere gange har han været repræsenteret på den årlige censurerede udstilling, der afholdes på det berømte kunstmuseum Louvre i hjertet af Paris. Det er som om det gamle skrot opnår en form for reinkarnation i sin nye form. Desuden rummer de stiliserede kunstværker en finurlig og dobbeltsidig udtryk, der alle realiserer sig til noget dybt menneskeligt. De bliver aldrig til et ligegyldigt tidsfænomen, da de er så blivende i deres udtryk. Udklip fra Weilbachs Kunstnerleksikon.: ”Leif Nielsen har med stor entusiasme og energi arbejdet inden for flere genrer, med en stadig kredsen omkring de basale identitetsskabende vilkår. Et særligt udtryk har han fundet i sine små jernskulpturer” |

 Mads Henum |
| Malerier og mad Henum har fundet inspiration til maleriet gennem sin hverdag som kok på både Lousiana og Arken. Herfra trak han ideer med sig hjem til sine kunstneriske udfoldelser. Alle malerierne er blevet frembragt til tonerne af den grønlandske musiker Rasmus Lybert, der sammen med sanseindtrykkene fra gastronimiens verden, sætter fantasien og skaberglæden i gang. Mads Henum er uddannet som kok hos Søren Gericke på Hotel Plaza i København. Som ung var han således omgivet af stærke personligheder, og i fritiden søgte han selv samvær med andre personligheder på et tavst og visuelt plan, nemlig ved at gå på museer og kunstudstillinger. Henums værker er farverige, fabulerende og fantastiske. Det figurative og abstrakte smelter sammen og efterlader en aura af magi. |

 Adrienne M. Finnerty |
| Irish Artist, Adrienne M. Finnerty initially studied Textile Design. Her interest in Complimentary Medicine then led her to open “Holistic Solutions” where she practiced the art of Hypnotherapy / Psychotherapy. While taking a Dip. in Movement, Sound & Colour Therapy her creative spark was re-ignited & from her Blackrock studio she now creates innovative distinctive art works in varied media. She is inspired to paint by all sorts of things, big events, small happenings, people, places, life issues in general. Her art is energized with conceptual direction, emotionally inspired and attuned to her moods and responses to life. Her love of travel sees her trekking to remote regions of the world, inspiring original unique paintings, including both her African & Vietnam series of works. She is eclectic in her painting methodology swinging between the traditional upright easel and brush to the more impulsive technique of floor work where through splashes and spills she attempts to create order out of chaos. Colours mingle, accidents happen, her creativity is unleashed. The painting creates itself. Music is intrinsic to the process where often the paint is danced onto the canvas to the haunting vocals of the native American Joanne Shenandoah, Nina Simone, Kate Bush, Bono, Beck or whoever feels right in the moment. The rhythm of the music helps her to lose herself in the work and so achieve a harmonious balance of colour and form. |
